Joe Lieberman is a drama queen and should be hated by Republicans and Democrats alike.

Iran test fired another missile this morning. They may be drama queens as well.

For the first time in Wise County history (I'm pretty sure), there is a chance for every county and local district office to be occupied by a Republican after next year's elections.

Heard on The Ticket: Whatever happened to those pet stores in the mall?

I would never watch The George Lopez Show (the guy is never, ever funny) and the commercials for the program are painful to watch. He's kind of like a guy who was born Hispanic, but has no ties to Hispanic culture, and now acts like he thinks Hispanics act. Does that make sense?

Oral Roberts died yesterday, and I watched a heck a lot of the Oral Roberts Show on Sunday mornings as a kid. He had really throttled back his faith healing by then and came across as fairly normal. But his son Richard always creeped me out.

Proof the Miley Cyrus's little sister will turn out more screwed up than she is.

Time magazine announced it's Person of the Year this morning: Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke. He always comes across as not being near as smart as he thinks he is.

Had someone next door to my office open up a wrongly delivered Christmas gift by UPS, and then sent it over with the note, "You almost didn't get this back." I presume that means it'll be a good gift.

Sports: There's a report that the Big Ten may seek to add Notre Dame as a member of the conference and, if that fails, go after Big 12 member Missouri. The latter would open up a spot in the Big 12 which leads to the obvious choice of TCU. I pray that happens.

The evil Empire is already hard at work to make certain the Frogs don't get a sniff @ any Big 12 openings. Mack Brown is already having nightmares about three more years of that Aggie QB who lit his team up three weeks ago, so the school can't afford to have him seeking psyciatric help over the thought of competing with Gary Patterson for top recruits in the state.CEP

If you're going to poke fun at someone not being "near [sic] as smart" as they think they are, I've got to pull a "Grammar Nazi" on you. "It's Person of the Year" should be "Its Person of the Year" (no apostrophe in its--you are saying "it is" when you put an apostrophe in its). Also, he is not "nearly" as smart as he thinks he is--not "near". Of course, Mr. Bernanke may not be making false claims as to his abilities in grammar. :)

Joe Lieberman - is the only one in Washington that seems normal and he's an Independent. That should tell you something.

George Lopez - I've never been impressed with the guy.

Miley's Little sister - She's a little girl, giver her a break.

Bernanke - Is Time magazines person of the year because they believe it will help him keep his job. They say the guy's a master on the history of the Great Depression. I wonder when he'll began to study the present one?

Crime Story - Most average people wouldn't believe the actual number of sick individuals in this country.

If we don't hit Iran, and hit them soon, there will be 7 million Jews in packages under the tree in a couple years. You ready to live with that just cause you think George Bush shouldn't have invaded Iraq. You libereals and your penchant for timidity in the face of evil is truly disturbing

If abortion is going to remain taboo, then I think we HAVE to make it easier for women to give up their unwanted babies- no questions asked and all hospital bills paid- to ensure this doesn't keep happening in our culture.

That poor baby. That poor mother and father that thought this was the best solution to their "problem."

I believe you are wrong about George Lopez on at least two counts:1. You are probably referring to Lopez Tonight, his new talk show, and not The George Lopez Show, which is no longer in production, but is in heavy syndication2. That guy is as Mexican as it gets. I don't know how you can assume he is pretend-Mex when you admit to not watching what it is he's doing. Hanging out with the likes of Clint Eastwood and Ray Romano (which he does - they're golf buddies), doesn't invalidate your cultural or ethnic qualities. Morgan Freeman is still black, last time I checked3. He's no less funny than any other late-night talk show host. It's mainly a matter of perspective, but his take on Obama, Tiger, the economy, etc, has evoked some laughs from me (and I'm not Hispanic/Latino whatever you want to call it)If you had ever caught any of his stand-up routines, you would know that he's using personal experiences from Latino culture

Our elected and appointed government officials are human like us, not infallible. I am still amazed at my fellow citizens reverence for these "smart" people. Phil Gramm who stripped away all semblance of derivative regulation before he left the U.S. Senate. Dumb. Alan Greenspan who trusted the market to self-regulate. Dumb. Mr. Bernanke who thought that allowing banks to perform trading functions was free market genius. Dumb. A PhD in Economics does not a wise man make.

Cheek twitch may be Bells Palsy, which is temporary, but sometimes takes a while to go away. If it continues, see your physician. It's fairly common and we're seeing an increase of it right now in Wise Co. for some reason. Not contagious, as well as they know.

Geo. Lopez...never have been able to tolerate the man.

Oral Roberts....ditto...can't stand him or his brainwashing rhetoric. Got lots of sheep who follow him blindly....what a bunch of mindless fools.

I would never watch The George Lopez Show (the guy is never, ever funny) and the commercials for the program are painful to watch.You must have been watching the back to back episodes of The Office as we were last night. And could not agree more.

Most disturbing crime story of the season.I don't think has anything to do with abortion rights. These people are just f'ed up.

Having a Phd in Economics doesn't make Mr. Bernanke any smarter than the rest of us. He has got our current situation all wrong and there are lots of other Phd's who will tell you so. He is trying to fix "things" with the exact same "things" that created our problems to begin with......ain't going to work. Sorry for all the technical "thingy" language. :)

TCU is never getting into the Big 12 and it has nothing to do with competing in any sport. It has everything to do with money.

Why would the other schools in the Conference want to share the revenue from TV with TCU? They add nothing significant to the viewing audience. Besides, the Big 12 already dominates the DFW market. No need to add them.

Nothing against the frogs, this is just the reality of college sports.

However, I could see a scenario where all of the Conferences shuffle up, then its anything goes.

Self regulation is not a bad thing if we would actually implement it. Should they be monitored? Absolutely. However, with the Community Reivestment Act requiring institutions to lend to people who cannot afford to borrow, that is not self regulation.

anon 8:56...I would've agreed with you on the cyrus girl except for seeing pics of her at halloween...the parents are way out of line for rushing her to grow up! sad, sad...cause she is just a little girl

To JCT "lost out" thank god hope all of them are closed they represent nothing but puppy mills - on the news last night 22,000 exotic animals pets raided in arlington that sold to the public it was horrible - don't think they (the owner's) just "lost out" - hopefully that owner will be prosecuted (death penalty suits me) the only losers in pet store situations are the animals they are abused and mistreated.

I disagree with the argument that TCu brings nothing to the Big12 in financial terms. Lots of folks in this area would rather watch TCU play UT, Baylor, Tech, OU than watch the other teams playing in or against the North division. You might point to the old SWC and try to prove your point, but the times were different then, TV revenue/viewing habits were different. Patterson has built his team into a strong contender, and should be around for a long time to continue that.

And why wouldn't they shuffle the conference (if MO leaves) to move another team that's farther north than TCU into the North division? The Frogs can certainly contend in the North even if they did get put there

TCU can't even sell out their stadium consistently. They were ranked in the top 10 most, if not all, of this season and had one sell-out. Teams like Texas, OU, and A&M sell out their stadiums on a regular basis whether they're ranked or not.

Notre Dame already conforms to NCAA regulations. Any school playing NCAA sports must follow NCAA rules. Being in a conference has nothing to do with NCAA compliance, it has more to do with money.

Notre Dame, as an independent, doesn't have to share their bowl money with any other schools. This was a "good thing" for them when they regularly played in the big bowl games. But lately, they haven't made it to the big games, so they haven't been making the $$$. If they were in a conference, it would mean they would get a share of any funds coming to the conference from the teams that DO make it to the big bowl games.

If you gathered all living TCU alumni, we wouldn't fill Amon Carter Stadium. TCU doesn't have the broad bandwagon-jumper appeal that A&M, OU, UT or Nebraska does.

When I see gang members wearing TCU gear, then I'll know they've hit the merchandising big time.

With 7,500 undergraduate students, TCU is roughly the size of Notre Dame with nowhere near the mass appeal or dollar-generating capability.

Sure the Frogs could probably smoke every team in the Big XII, but it's butts in the seats and dollars in the coffers that count. TCU in the Big XII would probably attract a few more fans, but when they have a bad season, I don't see the fan support they've had this year which, in my estimation, is pitiful for the #3 team in the nation. One sell-out? What a joke.

We all agree that Baylor in the Big XII is a complete fucking joke, but hey, blame that on Ann Richards. They're in the perpetual cellar and the laughing stock of the conference. I mean, Baylor? Come on.

If Missouri leaves, dump Baylor to the MAC where they belong, rename the conference the Big 10 and re-name the Big 10 the Big XII.

1st, Notre Dame is not worried about money at all...their alumni and supporters send more than enough their way....no way they choose to lay history aside and join the Big 10.

2nd, 9:07...Tech is not scared of TCU...Most red raiders were very upset to see the game moved to a future date...we would love to play the frogs in the friendly confines of Jones Stadium...Tech got offered a lot of money to play home and home with Texas early in the season and move the TCU game to a future date...the game has not gone away, it has moved, and red raider nation will be seing much more revenue because of the move...

One of the main reasons TCU does not sell out is their opponents do not travel well. If they played in the Big 12 you could almost guarantee a sell out each home game. For a school their size, they are well above average in attendance even without big name opponents.

That's not the first time one of my "f-bombs" has been allowed through.

If you think Green's just "missing" it, you're crazy. He knows exactly what he's doing. Don't be naive all your life.

Basically, because I stand behind everything I say, I can say whatever I want here. Same with Mz, Wordkyle and all of the other commenters who have the balls [or tits in Silicone Alley's case] to put themselves out there as something other than an anonymous coward.

Don't hate the playaz... hate the game, fool.

I hope this comment was concise enough to hold your apparently kindergarten-like attention span long enough to finish.

Joe Lieberman should be a non-story since the Dems own the Senate! Votes, but not the courage.

A newborn can be left at a hospital or police station anywhere in Texas "no questions asked." Babies aren't aborted anymore because of money. That most large families are amone the poor is easy to establish. Convenience and shame top the charts on reasons. Right behind abortion providers come boyfriends, parents, husbands on the list of promoters...

"Profanity is a weak mind trying to express a strong thought." U.S. Army Soldier's Handbook (admittedly we all evidence a weak mind from time to time!)

From "The Spin"-- "Devon made 1/2 billion in net earnings last quarter" That amounts to $1.13 per share of common stock. Wow! Barry, don't whine about their hugh earnings, buy Devon stock and get in on those hught profits!

Athletes would much prefer that NO PRESS was around when they visited sick kids. It's not the athlete's decision most of the time. It's the team's and/or the event's (such as a bowl game) or the hospital's.

2010 will be the first time Republicans hold all offices in Wise County is a safe prediction. The voter will be voting straight party ticket in November and there will be a back lash against Democrats for a weak economy in the 2010 November election. The only Democratic incumbent who has not filed has drawn a weak opponent in the Republican party; however, it doesn't matter how good a job the incumbent has done when it comes to winning against a strong straight party Republican voting. Who knows, the district clerk may switch parties and win making Barry's prediction correct.

To DAGO at 8:20. I have been an RN for over 30 years, and I know a bit more about bells palsy than you do. Some cases last only hours while others may last years. That is why it is considered a temporary malady. There is no standard time, but most of the cases we've seen this fall have lasted 1-2 weeks. You might want to consider keeping your mouth shut when trying to spar with someone who actually knows what they're talking about. And for your info.....most nurses know as much about your conditions as your docs do...more than some of them, unfortunately.

I graduated college a few years ago on the east coast and the big thing was Adderall. Does basically the same thing as Ritalin, I think. Had a teammate who would take it before practice and knew some hallmates who took it obsessively during finals.
